what does with respect to T mean?
do you know partial derivatives
yea
it means find $\frac{\pa \rho}{\pa T}$
riemann
but what equation do I differentiate?
I only know the rate of change one which is d(A) - d(B) divided by the magnitude of AB
you approximate this using your graph
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Q0qlwlclQ has the average rate of change formulas
This precalculus video tutorial explains how to calculate the average rate of change of a function over an interval. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

yeah that's the one I used in the thumbnail
wait no I had the magnitude at the bottom
alright, i'll look into it. Thanks!

I'm hoping I could get a small hint on this problem
I've tried from the definition of differentiability, that since f is differentiable we can write, f(x+h)=f(x)+f'(x)h+E(h) and similarly with a substitution on the f(x-h)
Austin
Which doesn't really seem relevant/useful
So I think I am supposed to use another strategy
No I don't know that definition
ok
I wasn't sure how to rewrite in terms of the double limit honestly
f' is differentiable, so f'(x+h) = ...
=f'(x)+f''(x)h+E(h)
-E(h)-f'(x)
h^2
and missing something else
f'(x+h)=f'(x)+f''(x)h+E(h)
f'(x+h)h-f'(x)h-E(h)h=f''(x)h^2
-E(h)h = E(h^2)
f''(x)h^2 = f'(x+h)h-f'(x)h+E(h^2)
now, hf'(x) = ...
hf'(x+h) = ...
-E(h)h=E(h^2) ?
Yes
why is that
-E(...) = E(...)
xE(...) = E(x...)
why would that be true
Definition of E
g(h) = E(f(h)) if g(h)/f(h) -> 0
if g(h) = hE(h)
Then g(h)/h = E(h)
so (g(h)/h)/h -> 0
so g(h)/h^2 -> 0
So g(h) = E(h^2)
and vice versa
here, this is as h->0 yes?
Okay so I can do these steps
but I'm still not seeing the algebra required to get it into the form I need
right now I have
$$f''(x)=\frac{f'(x+h)h-f'(x)h+E(h^2)}{h^2}$$
Austin
and I have replacements for f'(x+h)h and for f'(x)h
but like I've tried in multiple ways to substitute
and just nothing nice comes of it
what do you recommend?
f(x+h)-f(x)=hf'(x)+E(h)
f(x+2h)-f(x+h) this I am unsure of
the 2h is throwing me off with what you want me to rewrite it as
f(x)+2hf'(x)+E(2h)-f(x)-h'f(x)-E(h)
hf'(x)+E(2h)-E(h) ?
hf'(x) + E(h)
is that all?
obnoxious indeed
f(x+h)+f'(x+h)s+E(s) ?
there is a very rigorous proof behind that that I will not go through 
you got it
try to replace everything in the sum here
$$f''(x)=\frac{f'(x+h)h-f(x+h)+f(x)+E(h)+E(h^2)}{h^2}$$
Austin
hE(h), not E(h)
yeah when the E(h) terms got introduced back in that is where I was getting stuck when trying on my own
there is only one thing left to do
which is
start back from the original expression
$\frac{f(x+h)-2f(x)+f(x-h)}{h^2} = \frac{\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}-\frac{f(x)-f(x-h)}{h}}{h}$
rafilou2003
and this will be tough to continue but I'm trying to remember
that's a tricky simplification
wait a sec
you're allowed to use E notation
but you're not allowed to use its result on integration of E notation
What about taylor-young theorem?
I'm not sure what that is, but we have covered taylor's theorem as in taylor's series
yesyesyes
if that is the same thing
ah I was hoping you wouldn't say that
XD
Taylor's theorem is such a mess
do you have the result $f(x+h) = f(x) + hf'(x) + \frac{h^2}{2}f"(x) + E(h^2)$
rafilou2003
I likely do
I think I will try this out with a taylors theorem approach on my own for a bit
and let you know if I get stuck later?
if that is fine
PLEASE use this it's so much simpler
yes ping me for more help
Okay awesome tysm
@last summit Has your question been resolved?
Final hint because I gtg to sleep :(
||Using the formula I gave you above, f(x+h) = ...||
||Then f(x-h) = || ||f(x) -hf'(x) + (-h)²/2 f"(x) + E((-h)²)||
||Then f(x+h) - 2f(x) + f(x-h) = || ||h²/2 f"(x) + h²/2 f"(x) + E(h²)||
That is alright, Ty very much for your help. I’ve just been brushing up on Taylor’s series

Question
Can [
\m\P{A\given B} = \m\P{A}
]
imply that $B$ is equal to the sample space $S$?
imply?
wdym by "can <...> imply" as opposed to "does <...> imply"?
i meant the latter
only implies that A and B are independent
but why wouldn't it be okay
[
\m\P{A\given S}= \f{\m\P{A\cap S}}{\m\P S} = \f{\m\P A}1 = \m\P A
]
or am i missing something here
Yeah thats showing the other implication direction, not the one you asked
hol up
its this implication in reverse
isn't the intersection of a set with its sample space equal to itself?

and like
the probability of the sample space occurin is 1
Yeah its fine
ok no yeah it is
also just for my information; how would you explain the meaning of the formula [
\m\P{A\given B} = \f{\m\P{A\cap B}}{\m\P B}
]
its just for my own input and i heard a lot of explanations
it's the definition
Venn diagram
kinda bad that way tho, no?
because A|B itself is not an event
no
its intuitive
think that the |B means youre only looking at the space where B happened
right yes
so P(A|B) = P(A and B) / [normalization = P(B)]
thats the thing though
its P(B) because its like the probablity that we are indeed in the space wehre B happened
Sure but like
assume the probabilities in the sample space are like uniformly distributed, then [
\m\P{A} = \f{|A|}{|S|}
]
at least thats how i think of it 
but in your case, we are considering P(B) as like the sample space in the probability?
its just a bit weird for some reason to me
i guess yeah
pretty much you're changing the sample space to B
whats weird about it
why dont we consider |B| instead of P(B)?
because P(B) is sorta |B|
if its evenly distributed as you said P(A|B) = |A+B|/|S| * 1/(|B|/|S|) = |A+B|/|B|
in a more advanced way P(B) is pretty much measuring B in the probabliy space giving you its "size"
oh i think i get it now yeah okay
is [
\m\mu{A\given B} = \f{\m\mu{A\cap B}}{\m\mu B}
]
axiomatic in that sense?
by mu you mean measure?
yes
i dont know measure theory like at all lol
srry
just how it formalizes probability in the sense P(A) = measure of A in some way
The RHS is definitely something you can define for any measure (μ(B)=/=0)
Whether you'd call that mu of "A given B" outside the context of probability i do not know
the RHS defines a probability measure whenever \mu(B) is finite and non-zero
thats the whole point of dividing by P(B)
[
A_B = \m{\bigcup_{i\ge 1}}{\bigcap_{j<i} \comp{(B_j)}, A_i B_i}
]
Where $A_i$ and $B_i$ are elements of $A$ and $B$
holy
what the fuck?
what are you trying to do 
💀
AiBi ?
whats the intuition behind this? This is the definition of conditional probability as the probability of a conditional event A_B
?
I can assure you, this is NOT a probability
your notation is still nonsense
You might try to define an event but it's really all over the place
oh no this is an event yes, but like apparently it can be shown that [
\m\P{A_B} =\f{\m\P{A\cap B}}{\m\P B}
]
idk i pulled it online from a site explaining conditional probabilities and i was confused 
its apparently called
"the Goodman–Nguyen–Van Fraassen conditional event"
whatever that means
probably not the best site for beginners
or well
people trying to be explained conditional probablity
Wtf it's written exactly like that on wikipedia
Snow was getting at that you've defined a new measure ν defined as ν(Α) = μ(Α & B)/μ(B)
yeah the site probably copied it from there
For some measure μ, ν is a prob measure when μ(B) finite and non zero
wait can you share the link im curious to see if there is a better explanation on there
yeah i think i got that part
Nope, but here's the "reference" wikipedia refers to
where did you find this formula
let me link it wait
In probability theory, conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event (by assumption, presumption, assertion or evidence) is already known to have occurred. This particular method relies on event B occurring with some sort of relationship with another event A. In this event, the event B ca...

my teacher was giving a lecture and she came to this slide. with the two examples.
can someone help me with the first equation with that rate of change formula x and x+h?
i have no idea what she means
@calm wing
uh
Definition of derivative is
lim h —> 0 = (f(x+h) -f(x))/h
so it may be asking take the derivative of the equation using definition and plugging in 0 for h?

What'd you do here? 
IDK
Also comment: could have changed ln(x^3) to 3ln(x)
let me do this and retry
it would make your life a bit easier (but you didn't differentiate x^3 properly in your chain rule there either)
- sus common denominator here
idk whats going on
judging from this my answer already doesn't look like any of the answer choices
all of them have a radical in the numerator
you can multiply to make it one whole fraction on line 2
Well you can multiply numerator and denominator by "something" that'll make your life much easier to work with
what is it ☹️
It would be nice to keep it in the denominator of that term 
But that 2sqrt{x} is annoying 
We could change it slightly by multiplying top and bottom to make it a bit nicer 
so we would get um
4x on the bottom??
then i would assume something simplifies in the numberator to make it 2x
idk let me try
$\frac{2\sqrt{x}}{4x(1+\sqrt{x}}-\frac{3}{x}
pls work
You need a $ at the end 
$\frac{2\sqrt{x}}{4x(1+\sqrt{x}}-\frac{3}{x}$
jacks
i have this now
Yep \catthink you could have that as $\frac{\sqrt{x}}{2x(1 + \sqrt{x})} - \frac{3}{x}$ to be fair too, a bit nicer
@merry carbon
(cancelling down the common 2's)
Now try and common denominator this here 
uhhhh
ok so it's missing a 2 and the 1+sqrtx
so would i doooo
$\frac{3}{x}\frac{2(1+\sqrt{x}}{2(1+\sqrt{x}}$
jacks
you get what i mean
I do, but yep, turn 3/x into that and then you can easily common denominator it 
You might have simplified wrong 
it happens sometimes

what do i after i do the antiderivatives
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
If you mean, how do you find constants after doing an integration... Use the initial conditions
what do u mean by inital conditions
because Ik that I have to do the antiderivatives
but idk whats the y=0 and t= 0 for
y(0)=0
To determine the constants left over after integration
After one integration, you have 1 constant
so u suppose to do 0 = x -1/pi^pit
You use the initial equation to solve for the constant
I can try, if you send all your work
where did x come from?
the antideriviates
x is not the independent variable in that question
I guess you mean x is the constant
But that notation will make people upset
no the one in the equation
arent u doing antiderivates of the equation first then find the constant
You're saying that the integral of 1 is x?
But we are not integrating with respect to x
We're integrating over t
No, because the first equation is not true
Maybe you mean the integral of lhs is equal to rhs?
But the notation is so bad that you would get points off
Have you done integrals before?
yes but i forgot
This should refresh your memory
oh wait nvm i don't know how to do this one
do u have like a question or a sample that is is similar to the question
is this right

how does he go from that to that?
He doesn’t go from that to that directly
okay, what did he do exactly?
i tried using euclidean algorithm
but it only grows bigger and bigger
im still not sure how he got to that result
have you tried doing long division
no, because i dont know how to do that with gcd
like, i know what it is
but i dont know how to apply it in this situation
im sure its dumb as hell
but i just dont know
Youre not doing that with gcd you’re doing that with two polynomials
polynomial long division?
Yes
could you maybe show me what the division would look like
gcd(a,b) = gcd(b,r) where a = bt + r
Hm I think there’s a latex package for that one sec
,polylongdiv
thats not what i thought when you said poly long division
Chris do it
i got gcd(n^2 - 2n, 2n + 1) alright... and that should be equal to gcd(2n+1, r)... and n^2 - 2n = (2n + 1)t + r
should i just find r through euclidean algorithm?
okay? so you just add 5n^2 to get to n^2 - 2n
im still not sure how i am supposed to think or get to this
It’s like observation?
Willy the Explorer
well if its observation why did he say through long division?
Im not sure have you tried doing long division
no... i dont even know what i should divide what for
i tried thinking but im not sure what to do
should i divide n^2 - 2n by 2n +1?
is that it?
but why?

if i know the derivitive of a function, can i find the function
for example i know that the derivative is -5x^2+10x
There are infinite functions though...
yeah...
Whose derivative is that.
idk
I do, I'm telling you.
wait no
What?
ok tell me
Tell you what?
.
I'm telling you that there's infinite functions with that derivative.
yes*
*to some extent
yes, to some extent, now that's important.
You can find all those functions, after all there'll be only a difference in constant.
You just need to find the anti derivative.
Or integrate.
@ebon skiff
Yep.
Interestingly, you can find functions not just with the derivative.
This one that you mentioned, is one of the simplest cases, for what's called a differential equation.

can someone help me solve this system of equations by elimination please?
x + 3y = 9
2x + 6y = 30
this is the equation-
I've been trying for an hour now to solve it in different ways, and I've watched multiple videos
Try again, this time show your work.
I did -2(x + 3y = 9)
1(2x +6y = 30) and got 0x + 0y = 12
and then I tried doing
4(x + 3y =9)
-4(2x + 6y = 30) which then came out to X - 12y = 84 . Then I divided 12y = 84 by 12 and got y=-7 but I think that's also wrong
Double check your math on that top part. What would your y term be if you multiplied by -2?
wouldn't it be -6?
0y
yep
you have 1y in your answer
so what you're left with is 0x + 0y = 12. what should that tell you about your system of linear equations?
im not completely sure
what really gives it away is that if you multiply the top equation by 2, you get 2x + 6y = 18.
In order for this to have a solution, the top line would have to equal the bottom line in all components (same x, same y, same constant). Otherwise, there's no solutions
no problem!
I was having so much trouble with this and it turns out I only messed up one part . omg
Have a great rest of your day ^^

Am I misunderstanding something?
riemann
4th row
hmm
So if I had 1/ 1 - x I can write this as an the summation from 0 to infin (x^k)
hmmm
would it be 2x^n ?
you shouldn't skip this step
Okay
It's clear I'm not understanding what that's saying IMO.
I thought it was asking me to put the function I'm given in the form 1 / 1 - r
I guess the only difference is I still had the 2 in the denom
If not that, what I'm a missing

Hey y'all
Can someone please help me with (b), the following is what I have at the moment. I think I need to use a z-chart to rewrite the fact that P(X < mu + r) = 0.96 but I am not sure how, considering the fact that the parameters of the normal distribution are (3, 2) and not (0, 1)
<@&286206848099549185>
If $X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)$, the $(X-\mu)/\sigma \sim Z$ where $Z \sim N(0,1)$
riemann
First off, is it wrong for me to say that $X \sim N(3, 2)$ in this situation?
Ω
Because that's what I wrote
depends on your convention
If your class's convention is to write standard deviation instead of variance in N(mean, stddev), then stick with it
Yeah, I think that's the case
no one is right, or wrong, just stick with whatever your class uses
Can you please explain what $(X-\mu)/\sigma \sim Z$ means
Ω
I was thinking maybe I should use $x = \mu + z\sigma$
Ω
that's algebraically the same as what i wrote
express this chain of inequalities in terms Z instead of X
Oh, did you mean $=$ and not $\sim$
Ω
I got confused, my bad
I'm working on (b)?
oh my bad
same logic applies here
express the chain mu - r < X < mu + r in terms of Z
,w 2 * CDF[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 1.75] - 1
looks right
Is it right to say that $P(X < \mu + r) = P(Z < r/2)$
Ω
yes

Are the help channels mainly for early university and below math?
Sorry if this is not the correct channel to ask this
I'm guessing that for advanced math help I go to the advanced math channels
yea you'll have more luck down there

These are probabilities, so they must add to 1. So we can set up x+2x^2+x(x+1)=1 and solve for x
how do i do that
I'd start by multiplying the x(x+1) so you end up with x+2x^2+x^2+x=1 and then combine like terms
We can't combine the x's like that. When you have different powers of x, they have to stay separate. But the x^2 can add with the x^2 and the x can add with the x. So 2x^2+x^2 = 3x^2 and x+x=2x. So we end up with 3x^2+2x=1
(just realized I made a typo on my message before last, I dropped off a squared on one of the terms, it's fixed now)
We subtract 1 from each side to get 3x^2+2x-1=0. From here, we solve it like a quadratic, did you learn how to do that?
i think i forgot it icl
This one can be tricky to factor. The quadratic formula is probably the safe way (it's a bit complicated to type, you might want to google it)
I can show how to factor it too, but it's just also tricky to explain lol
bruhh
Was this taught a certain way in your class? I was trying to keep it simple since it seems like you're in a stats class and this is kind of an algebra problem
we were taught it
but it was a while ago
ngl its 11pm and i got other work to do so i might drop this since its taking me so long
No worries, up to you on what you want to do. The short version is you factor it to (3x-1)(x+1)=0, separate it out to be 3x-1=0 and x+1=0, you get x=1/3 and -1, but -1 doesn't make sense so you take 1/3. Happy to explain how to get there but that's what the answer should be if you come back to it later
It does, 1/3 + 2*(1/3)^2 + 1/3(1+1/3) = 1

Why is this just not 60 * 59 * 58 ** * 2 **
i think the answer is C lol
60 options for the very first number
59 options for the second number
58 option for the third number
2 options for the direction sequence
so E (imo)
they say it's E
So you think it's C but you also think it's E
at the end
Yes but they say it twice so it's unclear
yeah
they wrong
Sorry i keep mistyping
Let me rewrite lmao
The actual answer to the question is: C
However, according to me the answer should be E.
Why is this just not 60 * 59 * 58 * 2 ?
i'm pretty sure the answer in that site is correct
i don't see any way to argue for C
i found this
Wasn't convinced tbh
Am i dumb lol
If you understand, can you explain it to me
it would be like, you can't freely choose right-left-right
but it doesn't make sense to me
they say there's only one option
but there's 2 ways?
Lmao
in that case there's 1 way to choose the correct password too
not 60 * 59 * 58
yeah they all don't get it, it's def E
LOL
wait what?
So you think it's C?
I need the 2 for 2 different possibilities for the direction sequence
I'm not confident about that *2
if you imagine that you can't freely rotate any combination, like you can't cross the starting position, you can argue for (60 * 59 * 58)(4/6)
By that way, you could arrange that in 3P2 = 6 ways too
So *6
initially
60 (first slot) * 59 (second slot) * 58 (third slot)
Then you could have 60 58 59
58 59 60
58 60 59
59 60 50
59 58 60
that's not how numbers work kavin
no, what I'm saying is that
when we're multiplying 60 59 and 58
The logic on the basis of which we're doing it is that
In the first slot we're free to choose any of the 60 terms
In the second one, since we can't repeat, we can choose any of the 59
And in the third one, since we can't repeat again, we have to choose any of the remaining 58
Reduce the scale
Consider you have numbers 9, 5 and 6
You have to arrange them in groups of 2
So you'll do 3*2 = 6. But since you're doing an *2 for the sequence there, you're doing here too, so you have 13 permutations. What are the 12 permutations
@quaint prawn we get that though
lol
there's a direction sequence to consider as well
the problem is not with the 60P2 part
that's trivial
Okay, explain it to me
What
Explain why you did the *2. What exactly do you mean by direction?
"and" "correct three numbers from 1 to 60"
you only did the green part
you can rotate the dial to the first number in two ways
where's the "either left-right-left or right-left-right"
then you don;t have any choice
so the green part yes it's 60P2 like you said but the LrL or RLR is also another 2 possibilities
so 60P2 * 2 according to me tbh
it should not be 60P2 (which happens to be the answer)
do i just assume like all of them have lost the plot lol
and we're the only ones that are right
that seems highly unlikely 😭
there aren't that many people
but i can't wrap my head around this tbh
i've seen in another chinese site
the answer is the same
but they write in chinese
i think they interpret it weirdly, like both directions are actually allowed
so they aren't a part of the combination or anything
yeah i think so too
is there something special about combination locks?
maye that's what we're missing?
i'll find you the chinese solution
If it makes sense to you
no i tried to think of a lock that doesn;t let you cross the initial state
then it's × 4/6 instead of × 2
then e.g. 10 15 80 is not allowed
well yeah they explicitly say the direction is not part of the combination
wait what lmao
honestly i read the solution just with you
"both methods can be unlocked"
"it's interference information"
??????
But the people in that gmat club said otherwise
I have no clue what they were waffling about tbh
Lmao
The chinese site makes sense but i'm not sure how i was supposed to understand this on an actual exam
they both say the same thing, "i don't care about direction stuff, ignore that, because reasons"
this would happen if they are justifing the answer which they already know is C
They're the "experts" apparently
Guess i have to learn english
Cuz 100% in an exam setting i'm choosing E without a second though
and not pondering over the grammatical structure of a math question lmfao
E is right
Okay fair enough
Actually
i'm thinking maybe it has to do with combinations? i.e combination lock
10 15 80 can't be entered with this hypothetical lock
AB and BA are the same thing boom
so only 1 possibility
maybe that's how they derived the name
123 and 321 and all the other degenerates are the same so only 1?
if thre was a way to justify C I would already came up with it
😭
okay i'm with you
btw could you help me with something trivial
What does this mean? The symmetrical set part
where is the symmetry?
basically i was checking some descriptive stats and i saw mean = median = mode in a symmetrical distribution (but that's continuous)
was looking at an unordered set (discretized one)
this should be trivial though i'm not sure where i see the symmetry lmao
no idea sorry
Okay. Consider a set of 4 numbers arranged into a group of 2. Consider the same condition with the direction sequence. Tell me what impact it makes
I'm still not clear
given any choice of 3 numbers (including order), they can be entered in two ways
illustrated
you approach the first number either way, then the second number you have to go the opposite direction, same for the third
Okay, so clockwise could be 1 3 5 and anticlockwise could be 1 5 3?
the lock can tell which one you did, and only open on one of them
Give me number combinations for clockwise and anticlockwise
I partially get the hang of it but I'm not completely convinced, but alright
if the lock resets the sequence when you hit 0 as you could imagine it does, then you can't enter 1 3 5 at all
then for each of 60×59×58/6 sets you can enter them in 4 ways
so × 4/6 which is not an option, so it's not like there's a tricky thing that locks do we're missing

what is the most simple way to prove that 5/2 ^ 5/2 < 10
can you send example please?
i cant use calculator on test
Seriously though I would square both sides definitely
square with what

I know
thats why you square both sides :D
with what
What you mean with what
Wdym by "with what"?
send picture of what it would look like please english is not my first languagne
Solve 5/2^5/2 and see if its lower than 10
I see
What r u talking about solving
TooManyCooks
you need calculator for that
Not really
[ \left( \frac52 \right)^{\frac52} < 10 ]
[ \left( \left( \frac52 \right)^{\frac52} \right)^2 < 10^2 ]
A Lonely Bean
what are you even doing here you are not helping
Ok sorry i am leaving then
how does that prove it

definitely free for sure
